The Biochemistry program at the Faculty of Chemical, Pharmaceutical, and Biochemical Sciences within the Health Area of the San Francisco Xavier University of Chuquisaca is constantly evolving, facing increasingly demanding challenges in various fields of science and technology.
The program aims to train competent professionals capable of applying the fundamentals and principles of clinical analysis at a productive level to analyze various biological samples through hematological, biochemical, biological, bacteriological, parasitological, immunological, and cytological assays. Biochemists interpret the results of these examinations to establish a laboratory diagnosis that contributes to the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, control, and prognosis of diseases. Through active participation in the social life of the country, biochemists demonstrate a high ethical standard of respect for life and health, as well as a social commitment to improving the quality of life of Bolivian citizens.
The professional profile of a biochemist is broad, and their employment opportunities are found in productive, research, and service sectors.
The training of biochemists is a social need in Bolivia, as in many other countries worldwide. It includes a strong theoretical foundation in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, as well as a significant workload dedicated to experimental work in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and clinical analysis laboratories, and quality control. This training develops skills such as:
Determining, through laboratory analysis, physiological balance or its alterations in the health-disease process, for the prevention, diagnosis, control, surveillance, and prognosis of various diseases.
Establishing regional and national reference parameters that allow the interpretation of biochemical information in the fields of health, nutrition, and industry.
Establishing and implementing efficient and effective techniques for the production of biologicals, food products, and others.
Identifying and characterizing biodiversity resources for their application in industry, production, research, and ecosystems.
Determining the favorable or unfavorable conditions of the ecosystem and its influence on molecular reactions for the prevention of diseases and the protection of the environment.
Applying new technologies to obtain alternative industrial products, specific for applications in health, the environment, bioanalysis, and sustainable development.
Efficiently and effectively managing laboratories at different levels of care and areas.
Participating in multidisciplinary teams to develop educational activities in health promotion, disease prevention, and other fields inherent to their training.
Designing and executing research projects for their application in the field of industry, production, and improving the quality of life.
Developing good laboratory practices that imply total quality for their performance in bioanalysis, as well as in industry, research, production, and the ecosystem.
Developing their professional activity with ethical values of responsibility, solidarity, personal improvement, respect, attachment to their culture and society, implying a commitment to education and continuous updating.
